Parmenio Adams (September 9, 1776 – February 19, 1832) was a businessman and politician from New York. He served as a member of the United States House of Representatives. ==Biography== Adams was born in Simsbury to Parmenio Adams and Chloe (Nearing) Adams. He married Eleanor Wells on October 23, 1795 and they had four children, James, Sarah, Sarah, and Laura.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=stuw&id=I03928#s1 )〕 In 1806, Adams moved his family to Phelps Corners, which is now located in part of the Village of Attica, which lies in the Town of Alexander. Adams served as lieutenant of light Infantry, captain of Grenadiers, second and first major, and division inspector of Infantry in the New York State Militia from 1806 until 1816. During the War of 1812 he was active on the Niagara frontier as Major, division inspector of Infantry, and commandant of the New York Volunteers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=12669367 )〕 Adams was Sheriff of Genesee County from 1815 to 1816 and from 1818 to 1821. He had agricultural interests, ran a gristmill, and was a construction contractor on the Erie Canal. At the United States House of Representatives elections in New York, 1822, Isaac Wilson was declared elected in the 29th District by a small margin. Adams contested Wilson's election, showing that the returns had been certified mistakenly, and Adams was seated in the 18th United States Congress as an Adams-Clay Democratic-Republican on January 7, 1824. Adams was re-elected as an Adams man to the 19th United States Congress, holding office until March 3, 1827.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/parmenio_adams/400703 )〕 He returned to his personal businesses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parmenio Adams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
